Reply to comment by ssshield in TIL that Kurt Cobain got the inspiration to make Nirvana's famous song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" when Kathleen Hanna, the singer of the band "Bikini Kill" wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on a board. Teen Spirit was a woman's deodorant and he didn't knew it until he was done with the song. by WonderfulWanderer777

I remember it being heavily advertised in magazines that appealed to teen girls. One magazine even ran a contest (can't remember the specifics of the contest) and the prize was Nirvana playing at your school.
